Dwyane Wade Goes from a Banana Boat to Backstage at New York Men’s Fashion Week

Dwyane Wade, famed shooting guard of the Miami Heat and lover of holiday adventures is no stranger to the front row, whether he’s taking in Versace’s latest or doing the rounds at New York’s inaugural Men’s Fashion Week, as he did yesterday, putting in appearances at Thom Browne, Public School, Rag & Bone, and Ovadia & Sons, among others. And you know what, having a wide spread of interests suits him just fine. “I feel like my game is versatile, I feel like my style is versatile,” said the superstar backstage at Public School, before being coaxed to teach the models how to dunk. “I feel as an athlete I can throw on shorts and a T-shirt with the best of them, I also feel like I can throw on a suit with the best of them. It’s all about being versatile—that’s kind of how I am on the basketball court. It’s all about your confidence. It’s a style of play that we all have; it’s all about style, what makes you unique and authentic. It’s the same in fashion.”

Watch Wade as he dishes on fashion, style, and how to land a perfect three-pointer.
